The $8 bucks for the MLB gameday audio to listen on my computer at work sounds expensive, but at least comes with 13 issues of SI. Sure, that'll expire just before they publish the swimsuit issue in February. Boo!

It's absolutely inexcusable that someone who accounts for as much of his team's runs as Thomas does should ever see a pitch to hit with first base open. That team is nothing without him.

Also, let me remind Dan before he decides that this game should solidify Thomas as the MVP that it is the REGULAR SEASON MVP we are talking about so forget about those two dingers when trying to pick someone.
